### This is a python script to create a smil file for RealPlayer.
### Its purpose is to just make a list of all the mps files I have
### in a directory and write it to a smil file.
### Very simple, nothing spectacular. This script is important
### to me since I like to listen to music while studying or applying
### for jobs.
import os, sys, re, random
Home = "/var/www/html/audio"
Xml = "/tmp/temp1.smil"
### Create the regular rexpression for filtering files with mp3 extension.
Re_Mp3 = re.compile('mp3')
### Get the list of files.
List = os.listdir(Home)
### Filter out the non-mp3 files.
List = [i for i in List if Re_Mp3.search(i)]
## Open the smil file with some smil tags.
Write = open(Xml,"w")
Write.write("\n\n")
## Get the no of files we have.
Max = len(List)
## From 1 to the number of files,
## Print out a random file, and reduce the total list number by one
## Repeat until the list is 0.
for i in range(0,Max):
## Get the current length of the list
Length = len(List)
## Get a random number from it.
Position = random.randint(0,Length-1)
### Get the filename
File = List[Position]
### Create a link to my local webserver where you can see the file.
### The webserver must be properly setup for this to work.
Line = "\n"
### Write the line to the smil file.
Write.write(Line)
### Delete the item from the list so that we don't resue it.
del List[Position]
### Write the end tags for the smil file and close the file.
Write.write("\n\n")
Write.close()
